• Ford Fiesta 1.25LX 2000 (W) - Smelly air conditioning 11 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  Despite using it regularly throughout the year, my Fiesta's air con has finally started smelling a bit farmy. I've used a propriety aerosol cleaner/disinfectant of the type discharged in the footwell, which has helped but not eliminated the problem. I'm considering spraying another of these directly onto the evaporator matrix.

• Omega Blower motor not working 4 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  I have a P reg Omega 2.5 with climate control. Just recently the blower motor has stopped working. The air con seems to be working as when driving some cold or warm air comes through the vents. I have checked the fuse and relay. I have removed the glove box to get at the motor but it looks as though it will be difficult to get to the motor itself.

• Cheapest way to regas aircon 28 Sep 2005 (Forum)

• Volvo S60 (2000 - 2009) - 02 2.4 Rough idling - difficult cold starting 27 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  Two garages have had the car on ramps and checked all pulleys, etc and can find nothing wrong. One garage said that they thought the air con compressor is on its way out (very expensive), but another mechanic said they did not believe it had anything to do with the air conditioning as the problem is still there even if the air con is disabled.

• Toyota Yaris (1999 - 2005) - 05 1.3 Aircon - should you keep it on all the time 23 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  Hi Just read HJ's FAW on air con which suggests that you should keep it on all the time. Is this recommended?

• Mitsubishi Shogun 2013 - Air conditioner problem 29 Jul 2020 (Forum)
    This is very unfortunate for us as we are travelling to France where it is a lot warmer than the UK and the air con is needed especially as we have dogs with us on the trip. A very poor showing from  Mitsubishi who appreantly have been aware of this fault for a number of years, but have refused to do a recall especially has coolant leaking out is an enviromental issue!
• Citroen Berlingo Multispace 2004 1.6 petrol - Citroen Berlingo air conditioning 2 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Air con stopped working, although light on switch illuminated, electro clutch on compressor did not operate. Booked into an a/c "specialist" who regassed the system to no avail and presented me with a bill and estimate for a new compressor £500+.

  I think it cost around £29.99 for a large maybe 800ml cannister I need to recharge the air con on my 2001 Mercedes. I have a 1999 Honda shuttle that's been much busier and it still works fine - though it never was/is ice cold whereas the Merc was a freezer. thanks for any help Buster
• Nissan Qashqai+2 - Air Conditioning pressure sensor 1 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  Hi All I have a Qashqai with manual air con that is not working. I'm pretty sure the compressor clutch isn't  engaging and I have checked the relay fuse (OK) and teh button/led come on too. I supsect therefore that there might be low refridgerent  pressure that is  preventing the clutch activating.
• Ford Fiesta Saloon - Ford Fiesta (2001) - air temp uncontrollable 29 Jul 2010 (Forum)
  I have a Ford Fiesta Freestyle 1.6 Y reg (2001). When the engine is started from cold and the air circulation / blowers or air con (it happens the same for both) is on cold and stays there, there is no problem with the temperature in the car. However, if the engine is already warm, or the temperature is turned up for longer than a few minutes, the air that comes into the car is piping hot and will not get any cooler.
• Skoda Fabia - Water dripping from engine 20 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  It appeared to be coming from the back of the engine compartment, I couldn't see the exact source. I'd had the air-conditioning on the whole time I was driving, could this be related to the dehumidifying properties of the air-con? Thanks Mike
• Vectra Climate Control 3 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  This is probably one for Elekie&AirconDoctor ... The air conditioning on my Vectra doesn't seem to be cooling as it should! I know that when first started there was a "sucking" sound from the air con (compressor?) that lasted about one second. Now the sound lasts for about three or four seconds with a short "suck" every now and then.
